Copenhagen Fashion Week is upon us and our mood boards are once again brimming with inspiration. As the fashion set arrived in the Danish capital, a treasure trove of stylish ensembles peppered the streets. On every corner we were privy to high-fashion, wearable looks modelled by show-goers. Exemplifying true Scandi style, a stylish sea of well-tailored neutrals dominated the streets, including sweeping trench coats, head-to-toe black outfits, smart suiting and light layers.
Below, I've have chronicled my favourite looks from the past few days. Read on to discover all the looks we'll be shopping from the street style crowd at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
1. Head-to-Toe Black
As we move towards autumn, the temptation to wrap yourself up in an all-black ensemble is at its highest, and clearly, the fashion set has already got the bug. To break up the block colours, they wore black outfits that featured deep V-necks or sleeveless styles which showed a little skin. Naturally, everything was perfectly tailored for a cohesive look the didn't feel overwhelming.

2. Relaxed Suiting
If summer '23 saw the rise of the sleeveless suit-set, autumn '23 will be all about the power suit. Riffing off the summer trend, the fashion set opted for oversized but well-tailored co-ords, which were expertly layered and styled with minimal accessories.

3. Summer Fabrics for Autumn
Although summer is on its way out, we're still seeing lots of linen, natural cotton and raffia on the streets. Adjusting to the cooling temperatures, these natural fabrics are layered on top one another for a fresh take on trans-seasonal styling.

4. Layered Neutrals
Tonal dressing in shades including beige, tan and brown was seen up and down the streets of Copenhagen. An easy template for creating a harmonious look, tonal layering is the trans-seaonal cheat code we've been looking for.

5. Flats
Scarcely a high heel in sight, the fashion set are standing firmly on their feet in favour of all things flat footed. Though we saw a few cowboy and biker boots stomp the streets, humble ballet flats and all their associates were favourited by show-goers this year.

As we move into autumn, we're already seeing leather reemerge as the outwear-option of choice. In the form of trenches, bombers, and moto-jackets–leather bound looks were everywhere.
